Improve your critical thinking skills

Be a better thinker

Avoid logical fallacies that come from an error in a logical argument and cognitive biases rooted in thought processing errors as a result of over simplification.

Critical Thinking assessment

People who score well in Critical Thinking also rate well in analysis and problem-solving skills. Weakness in our judgment increases the risk of poor decisions leading to poor performance.

When we understand our potential limitations and blind spots, we can account for them and make more balanced, thoughtful and conscious decisions. The assessment measures three core thinking dimensions: Intuitive, Practical and Conceptual.

Critical Thinking patterns

Intuitive Thinking: The ability to understand and appreciate others in different situations.

Practical Thinking: The ability to understand and compare the functional worth of things, situations or events.

Conceptual Thinking: The ability to understand the need for order, structure and big picture thinking.

Improve your inductive reasoning

Inductive reasoning is something we do every day. Inductive reasoning or inductive logic creates a causal link between a premise and a hypothesis. With inductive reasoning you draw a general conclusion from a set of observations. It can be thought of as bottom-up reasoning as you create an answer from a set of observations. For example, “My bus is always late, therefore all buses must be late”. You could say that is very poor inductive reasoning, but that’s the point. Improving your inductive reasoning is about recognising and improving the way we collect, assess information and then draw conclusions from that.

Improve your deductive reasoning

Deductive reasoning takes a more logical approach to decision-making, it’s about making logical, sound conclusions. The conclusion, the decision, is seen to be the only obvious answer as a self-evident truth. It uses several facts and creates the logical conclusion from that.
‍
A syllogism, in logic, is valid deductive reasoning having at least two premises and a conclusion.
